all- please think about this and consider doing it.---good info. while visiting a large cemetery in tyler texas this past week i saw something i had not seen done before. this was mostly on double headstones tho some were singles. on the backside of the tombstone was engraved the names of the children. wouldn't it be wonderful if they all were that way. these were very old up to very new gravestones and quite a number of them were that way. must be a tradition in that cemetery. we were in the old part, the new part being across the road and we did not go in new part which was quite large. my husband found one of his grandmas there in the older part.. it is a well kept cemetery being beside a current church. when i die my tombstone will have the name of my children engraved on the back. 100 years from now it may help one of my grandchildren as they trace my family line or yours. just something helpful for genealogist to think about and it looked pretty neat too. this may already being done in other cemeteries but i had not seen it before so it was new to me.. ruth wolfe wilson

Looking for information about Lizzie Lee born October 23, 1864 in Cockrum, Mississippi. She later married W.E. Collins. She died April 24, 1958 in Purcell, Oklahoma. Any information would be very helpful. Sincerely, Marty Piel

Bobby...I called the funeral home and the only thing they had that was close to your names was an Andrew R. Edmonston died in 1965 at the age of 68. Buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Iuka, MS. Hoping this is something you can use. Sandra

I'm in the area. I'll make the call for you now. I'll let you know what I find out. Sandra

I need someone that lives in the Olive Branch area to get a hold of Brantley Funeral Home and see if they will check their records for Ed EDMISTON, Edgar EDMISTON, J.E. EDMISTON died 1966-1970. He is my Grandfather and I am having trouble trying to track down where his funeral was and where he is buried. Anyone that can help me on this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bobby

Bob, Genealogists are in bad need of an easy way to transcribe the original census records. Some originals are clear and some are eyball shattering. How ever, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and perhaps you can help or use the information later. There is a suburb of Boston which contains the Eastman Software, Inc, 600 Technology Park Drive, Bellerica, MA 01821. They have a computer program that has the capability of transcribing the Census if they can get the word out on "Imaging for Windows" which S-K is using on their Census CDs There are some problems for some "end users", like me: 1. I need to know how to 'erase' annotations such as text or highlighting, should I make a mistake. 2. I need to know how to accurately position any 'annotations'. 3. I need to know how to eliminate the background of the original document, while leaving the 'annotations' in place. If only a few of the genealogists were able to develope "overlays" for some of the Census sheets, the study of genealogy would be greatly accelerated. I have 'suggested this before, on the net, but all it did was to generate a lot of 'hate mail' ( It seems the transcribers either want to do all of a counties reports, or none at all) I now dump this in your lap because you represent the future of genealogy and the fact that you live not very far from Eastman and might be able to meet the engineer that developed "Imaging for Windows". I realize that this may all be Greek to you now, it is of utmost importance to future genealogists who need to be able to view indexed census for any census year, for any county , which to my knowledge is not yet available. If I have not made the problem clear, it is only because I am not fluent enough and perhaps I can improve in the future I shall risk some more 'hate mail" by sending this note to other people who might also be interested in genealogy. Thanks for listening ! L&S, Bob Davis Vancouver, WA
